mercy and compassion

Core Interrelations


CONSOLIDATION:
Understanding how important it is to God that we show people mercy helps us clearly distinguish right from wrong.

When God is in us, we have mercy on our neighbor. Having faith in God we can overcome our harmful desires through actions such as these. Those who accept Jesus find rest for their souls.

Be merciful to people and do not judge or condemn them; forgive them.

Have mercy on people around you who are poor and in unfortunate circumstances.

Have compassion for people and do what you can to help them, believing in the Lord for help; and He will help. Then amazing things are possible.

Give, and a good overflowing measure will be poured back to you.

Our Teacher said serving is the greatest, he who humbles himself.

When you start serving others and have your relationships with others inline with the principles in spite of all the problems that come up, and this involves A LOT of forgiving and mercy (these are the fruits of true believing), then you can ask what you wish from the Father, and it is yours.

Love, give and do good to, bless and pray for your enemies, those who hate you, curse you, and mistreat you. Do to others as you would have them do to you. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High.



Don't make excuses in order to refuse God's invitation to you, or you will find yourself apart from God's goodness.

Woe to the hypocrite! (prideful one) You will be deceived by your unbelieving heart, as evidenced by what your life visibly produces.
